Suppose there are three nations (North, South, and East) and three goods (A, B, and C). Given resources and technology, North can produce 5 units of A, or 2 units of B, or 10 units of C, or any linear combination thereof. South can produce 5 units of A, or 2 units of B, or 5 units of C, or any linear combination thereof. East can produce either 1 unit of A, or 5 units of B, or 10 units of C, or any linear combination thereof. The most efficient pattern of specialization is to have
a) North produce A, South produce B, and East produce C
b) North produce A, South produce C, and East produce B
c) South produce A, North produce B, and East produce C
d) South produce A, North produce C, and East produce B
e) East produce A, South produce B, and North produce C
d) South produce A, North produce C, and East produce B
